The dutch city of leiden has a test of its civil emergency alarm, at midday on the first monday of every month. Here is a distant recording of the alarm as it is heard in a leiden soundscape.
A quickly rising synth that then sustains until repeating, meant to sound like the sort of alarm you'd hear in top secret bases and whatnot, could be used for quite a few contexts. This was made in beepbox using the guitar harmonics instrument.
American signal t-128 and federal signal 2001 siren sounding in attack mode. These sirens are normally sounded in a steady tone for tornado warnings, but this rising and falling tone would be used for civil emergencies like an air raid or other attack on the city.
An alarm effect that sounds a bit like some alert going off in an airplane cockpit. Made from a very slowed down recording of me whistling, with the help of dfx skidder.
This was recorded with the help of my lovely local fire volunteers. There is no doppler, no vehicle engine, no street noise. Has a bit of echo to it. Includes 3 different siren sounds to be edited as you need.
I bought my own fire alarm (i am an enthusiast) on ebay. I went into my garage to record it. And it didn't work. I tinkered with it a little and got it to work. And this is what it sounds like. Feel free to use with no credit.
Recorded at the office when it was raining. I didnt have any specific tool to record the room so i just brought my cell phone and i started recording. There is some noises when dragging the phone, but it you edit on audacity it wont be much of a problem.
This is a nice stereo recording of a police car approaching from the distance with it's siren wailing and it passes and disappears into the distance. Recorded with: fostex fr2le, bp4025.
This is the sound that you hear if you press the emergency button of an elevator for less that one second. This elevator is at upf poblenou campus, at the tanger building, where diverse research groups do their work.
Self-created fire alarm. The idea is based on the typical fire alarm in buildings and was supplemented by a typical (slightly pitched) sound sequence of the us emergency vehicles. The sounds and the composition were created completely with audacity. I would be happy about suggestions for improvement and how you have used the sound sequence. I used it as a fire alarm in my home automation.
Other placesrecorder: zoom h2 / other portable devicesoftware: pro tools / audacity / ocenaudio / reaper. Your comments are greatly appreciatedcheers, piotr zaczek.
Assorted fire alarm sounds test within large building. Footsteps moving between locations within building. Spoken announcement "please evacuate the building immediately".
Group kmm-ambient college campus recording of a distant fire-truck siren. Siren is long and sustained. Other ambient sounds (ie. Birds, leaves, etc. ) can be heard in the sample. Recorded with a zoom h4 handheld recorder, on medium gain. Normalized in peak pro 6.
City day. Ambulance passing by at the distance. Distant city traffic rumble. Recorded with zoom h4n-pro 48 khz / 24 bit. Use freely on your personal commercial and non-commercial projects. Don't put this raw sounds/files on youtube or anywhere else. You can use them in creative way as a part of art-form, but not "re-distribute" as (royalty free) stock material. Thank you.
